President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Nigeria’s Super Falcons following their dramatic 2–1 victory over defending champions South Africa in the semi-finals of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON)
In a statement released shortly after Tuesday’s match, Tinubu praised the team’s performance, describing it as “nothing short of superlative.”
“Well deserved! Congratulations to our Super Falcons! Your incredible #WAFCON2024 semi-finals victory over South Africa today was nothing short of superlative,” he wrote.
“You have made the nation proud. Keep soaring. Don’t stop until you bring the trophy home. Go for our 10th title.”
Tinubu urged the team to remain focused as they head into Saturday’s final, where they’ll face either Morocco or Ghana. He also reassured them of the unwavering support of Nigerians at home and abroad.
“We are waiting to receive the cup,” he added.
The Super Falcons, Africa’s most decorated women’s football team, are aiming to reclaim the WAFCON title after missing out in 2022. Their last championship came in 2018, marking their ninth continental triumph.
